Desmopressin Acetate (Refrig) Nasl Uses
This medication is used to reduce urination in certain cases (e.g., diabetes insipidus, surgery). It is a man-made form of a certain natural hormone made by the body (vasopressin). It works by making your kidneys concentrate your urine, so you produce less of it.
